GMF bananas? Among processed foods, 60% of those sold in America have had genetically modified content since about 1990. It must be higher now. Congress never authorized GMF for human consumption, so the patent office did it on their own initiative.
On the other hand... bright purple edible bananas? The hobby side could be interesting. Most of my problem w/ GMF is that the genetic range of crops becomes more narrow, flavors are lost, and there is greater susceptability to world wide, crop specific, die offs... sorta like we already have w/ bananas?
When you get down to it, tissue culturing is potentially almost as bad as GM... once you get past the "Killer Banana that Stalked New York" sorta stories.
